C
C                     Am
I watch my generation die

C                            Am
I watch the heads of nations lie

F                           Fm
I watch the homeless on the streets

C                          G
I stand here helpless just lookin' at my feet

C                        Am
I watch the children run away

C                                Am
The bullets fly where they would play

F                     Fm
I watch a junkie fade away

C                           G
I ain't got an answer but I sure got things to say

        Hey Hey, I gotta find a way

                          C                   Am
        Cause the road is dark gotta light my way

I watch the old folks sit alone

They talk to ghosts they used to know

F                             Fm
Where are the wise men of the tribe

C                              G
Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah

C                                 Am
I wish that I could I'd turn back time

C                                   Am
Way back before there was corporate crime

F                                Fm
We'd fight the wind to plant our seed

C                                          G
When the earth was stronger than the human greed
